We provide a new service - Pilot Drill Surgical Guide Planning When clinicians want to make an accurate entry point, a Pilot Guide provides the first drilling step guidance. The first drill in the implant placement process is the most important in setting the final position of the dental implant. The pilot guide increases the predictability of implant surgery and could be used to treat both partially edentulous and edentulous patients.
You will need:- Implants Sigma Active Bio, Sigma Classic or Sigma Mega X implants
-
Pilot Drill Guides equal to the number of installed implants
- standard
Surgical Kit for Sigma Active Bio,
Sigma Classic or
Surgical Kit for Mega X- 3D printer to print a surgical guide or get in touch with any laboratory to print a surgical guide using our STL file.
Dental implantation planning service. How does it work?Step 1You email us Patient's Computed Tomography (CT) scan* and STL file of the patient's oral cavity.
*Recommendations regarding the CT-scanning procedure:
1. CT-scanning should include all anatomically important formations: nerves, maxillary sinuses, teeth on which the template will be based.
2. To make the CT-scanning with the separation of the bite by a few millimeters. To do that, make a silicone bite template (Stomaflex, Speedex, Zeta Plus, etc.).
3. In case of a full adentia, it is necessary to make an X-ray contrast removable prosthesis and conduct a CT-scanning with it.
Step 2Fill out the order form you will receive by email.
Step 3Within 1 business day our experienced technical team will develop a 3D planning of dental implantation and we will send you by email the surgical guide STL file. Please note: you need to print the surgical guide using a 3D printer by yourself or in the nearest laboratory.
Surgical protocol using the Pilot Drill Surgical GuideGeneral recommendations:
- Stop cutting tools before insertion or removing them from the sleeve.
- Use intermittent drilling technique, with abundant water cooling, to prevent bone overheating
- Avoid lateral pressure on the tools.
Place the Pilot Guide Planning in the mouth
Pay attention! Start drilling strictly after the pilot drill has been inserted to the full depth of the sleeve.
Prepare the bone with a pilot drill to the full working depth of the drill (equal to the length of the installed implant). The maximum rotational speed should be 800 rpm.
The final preparation of the implant site through the pilot drill sleeve is not possible. Therefore, remove the Pilot Guide Planning and follow the traditional protocol.
